A Study of Japanese Youth Magazines during and after the Pacific War --focusing the Shukan Shokok umin (Weekly National Youth)

我用太平洋战争期间出版的《国民青年周刊》作为我的文本，考察了战时图片和图形材料的视觉文化。我研究了这些视觉材料和作者进行的文学表现如何在某些方面融合在一起，但在其他方面可以变得相互截然不同。我还比较了Shonen kurabu(青年俱乐部)、Shokokumin bunka(国家青年文化)等青年杂志以及年轻女性杂志和Asahi Graph等针对成年人的视觉导向杂志，思考了战争期间针对儿童的视觉导向杂志的意义。我并没有以这些材料只是宣传的结论来结束我的分析，而是考虑了儿童读者对这些连载作品的反应与媒体事件之间的关系，而不仅仅是印刷文化，包括当地和学校的活动。

Using Shukan Shokokumin (Weekly National Youth), which was published during the Pacific war until its end, as my text I examined the wartime visual culture of pictures and graphic materials. I examined how these visual materials and the literary representations carried out by authors merged together in some ways, but in other ways could become mutually quite distinct. Also comparing Shonen kurabu (Youth Club), Shokokumin bunka (National Youth Culture) and other youth magazines as well as young women's magazines and visually-oriented magazines aimed at adults such as Asahi Graph, I considerd the meaning of visually-oriented magazines aimed at children during the war. Without just ending my analysis with the conclusion that these materials were simply propaganda, I considerd the relationship between child reader's reactions to these serials and tie-in media events beyond just print culture, including local and school events.
